Now all the participants of ToG should be happy Gareth didn't join
Otherwise he would dominate the project

[sea.man]

yeah, that would be demotivating!

You're insane, but I love the dedication!

Agreed.

I dare not to say that I am as dedicate as many of you guys.

But I truely find that there are a lot of passionate and dedicated painters here, who are willing to share.


For the amt of marines you painted, and the quality of them, I think the project is very very well done so far.

Since posting this project on here I have painted more Ultramarines (vanguard and terminators) and i'm over 10,500pts now.

I managed to track down one of my all time favourite miniatures on ebay the other day. So much so, that I dropped everything else on my painting list to focus on stripping and repainting this model. This model goes right back to when I first started out in the hobby and featured in the first White Dwarf I ever bought (Issue 175). I dug out the issue and there, just as I remembered it was a picture of this model standing in a stream battling an Ork Dreadnought.

The model I talk of is the 1990 Ultramarines Captain.

In that issue he is called Ultramarines Commander and has white trim on his shoulder pads. So that would make him Captain of the 1st Company. His imagery however looks like like the New Sicarius sculpt. He has the same kind of helm and weaponry. Suffice to say, my 1st company will be led by a captain in terminator armour, and I have a 2nd company commander from the Masters of the Chapter formation, so I decided to give my classic Captain grey trim and make him Captain of the 8th Company. A reserve company that is made up from bikers, assault marines and landspeeders. I have a couple of landspeeders that are from the 8th company, so know they have a Captain.

This week I've finished a space hulk Terminator Librarian.

I'm really happy with the outcome, it's one of my smoothest models to date with some real nice blends going on in places. The base is a little unimaginative but it fits in with the rest of the army.

I'm not a big fan of 40K stuff but I like the way you've done these, the blends are much better than your other stuff but you have room for improvement so keep going
